31 YEARS AT IT 



Ever since flowers were first sold at wholesale in 

 Chicago we have been supplying buyers who draw their 

 supplies from this market. 



Do you think our experience may 

 be of value to you?

varieties as Maud Dean, Jeanne Nonin, 

 Dr. Enguehard, Nagoya, Eieman and 

 Bonnaffon were much in evidence. Boses 

 were in goodly numbers, but sales on 

 these were generally satisfactory. The 

 advance was not striking, except in the 

 case of the better grades of Killarney 

 and Beauties. Carnations made $5 for 

 the best, ordinary stock selling at $2 to 

 $3. Enchantress sold just as well as the 

 high colored varieties and was much 

 sought after. 



Violets were abundant, selling mostly 

 at 75 cents. Some few went to $1. On 

 these the retailers were heavily over- 

 stocked, owing to bad weather. Valley 

 sold well, as did lilies, which were not 

 abundant. There was a moderate supply 

 of Paper Whites and smaller lots of 

 Roman hyacinths. Cattleyas and gar- 

 denias made good prices; neither were 

 plentiful. 



Among other flowers noted were wall- 

 flowers, stevia, snapdragons, mignonette 

 and bouvardia. In green stock there was 

 an active trade, .^aleas, Lorraine be- 

 gonias, Jerusa.^em cherries, ferns and 

 palms all had a fair call. 



Since Thanksgiving the market has 

 been well cleaned op and prices are hold- 

 ing out satisfactorily. The prospects are 

 bright for good business between now 

 and Christmas. 



Various Notes. 



Peirce Bros, are handling quantities 

 of well flowered azaleas at their stands 

 in the Park street market. 



The schedule committee appointed at 

 the recent S. A. F. committee meeting 

 has been working on the premium list for 

 the spring show of 1911 and has it well 

 advanced. 



T. J. Beuwell, the genial representative 

 of the A. H. Hews Co., at the wholesale 

 flower markets, is around again after 

 ten weeks' serious sickness. E. L. Pierce, 

 vice-president of the company, is also 

 able to be at his desk again, much im- 

 proved. The firm is doing a good fidl 

 shipping trade. 



Edgar Bros, had an excellent Thanks- 

 giving trade and marketed a fine lot of 

 &te chrysanthemums. 



Indications are that there will be a 

 good delegation on the Gkirdeners' and 

 Florists' Qub field day to Nashua, N. H.,

Saturday, December 11. The train leaves 

 North station at 11:30 a. m. Ladies are 

 specially invited. 



The death of Carl Jurgens, the noted 

 Newport grower, caused many local ex- 

 pressions of regret. Mr. Jurgens sold a 

 good many of his fine Beauty roses, val- 

 ley and other flowers through Welch 

 Bros. 



H. M. Bobinson & Co. report the best 

 Thanksgiving trade they have had and an 

 especially good call for green stock. 



J. T. Butterworth is still cutting good 

 Cattleya labiata and has a fine lot of 

 Percivaliana following. 



George L. Freeman has been visiting 

 all the local orchid growers during the 

 last few days and reports a big demand. 

 For Odontoglossum crispum he says 

 there is a remarkable caU. 



Welch Bros, report that but for bad 

 weather the Thanksgiving trade would 

 have broken all records. Beauties, My 

 Maryland, E[illamey and Bichmond were 

 leaders among roses. The best Beauties 

 made $4 to $5 per dozen. Enchantress 

 was the most sought after carnation. 

 Cattleyas were in much demand, the sup- 

 ply being inadequate. Gardenias sold at 

 $3 to $5 per dozen and are becoming 

 popular. White Bonnaffon and Eaton 

 were leaders in mums. W. N. Ckajo. 



WATERBURY, CONN. 



A landmark has disappeared in Wa- 

 terbury,. Conn., by the closing of Alexan- 

 der Dallas' downtown store, which was 

 the first in town and one of the oldest 

 in the state. The new store, in the 

 center of this busy city, is in keeping 

 with the march of progress. Two large 

 ranges of glass furnish the supply. 



Lily of the Valley 



For Cut nowers— Prices, $8.00 and $4 00 per 

 100. Have an entire house of It and solicit a 

 share of the trade of the Southwest. Satisfaction 

 guaranteed. Shipping: facilities are the best 

 and we can handle all orders.

Saxe & Floto, of Waterbury, are on 

 the rocks, or rather built on rock, for as 

 one approaches their big new plant, im- 

 mense boulders rise up like sentinels. 

 Lilies by the thousands are forced here 

 all the year around to supply the whole- 

 sale trade; which is constantly increas- 

 ing. Mr. Floto pays close attention to 

 the growing end and showed me the new 

 bulb cellar, where bulbs by tens of thou- 

 sands are ranged, tier above tier. The 

 desirable tulip, Proserpine, promises 

 to be in at Christmas; a first experi- 

 ment, and if successful, will be a 

 profitable one. Chrysanthemums are 

 largely grown. Intensity being the beat 

 red. I also noted this variety doing well 

 with John Macrae, of Providence, B. L, 

 who considers it the best in its claas. 

 This is the home of Golden Dome, which 

 has made good wherever grown, (jolden 

 Chadwick and Golden Eagle are popu- 

 lar. Mrs. Brock is a late commercial 

 pink, and Eaton is Mr. Floto 's favorite 

 white. M.
